    Seasonal Recipes

    Some recipes taste better at different times of the year. For example, you wouldn't eat a gazpacho in the middle of winter😜🥶. But, I do live in Florida, where the summer is endless, and the winters disappear in the blink of an eye. Because of the fleeting winters, we cherish those good, warm-you-to-the-bone recipes when the temperature drops.

    Hola! I'm Zoe. I love all things food and enjoy cooking. I created this site to reconnect with my Puerto Rican heritage while living in the United States. This is a great place to reconnect if you are floating in the diaspora. I would love to hear from you!
